Exciting read

A must for Ava Glass fans. Well written, well narrated, fun and suspenseful novel. Highly recommend.

Emma is awesome

Story of intrigue with its twists and turns carried me along Also the characters were believable

Fun female spy heroine

I’ve loved this series and this was another un-put-down able listen. Emma Makepeace manages to be smart and sexy while still being slightly relatable.

Interesting story

I liked the female agents coping with smarts and instincts. An enjoyable listen and I would recommend it to spy enthusiasts

Well read good plot

I like the whole book. The character development is excellent. The story flows and the plot line makes sense. I really enjoyed it.

An excellent new series

Love this series! Start with alias Emma for best enjoyment but each book could be read as a stand alone

Slow start but was good

It was a slow start but I stuck with it and really enjoyed the book.

Another Great Entry into Spy Makepeace

I've enjoyed this series as a whole and love following Emma on the many twist and turns of her adventures.

This story centers around the G7 and the tensions surrounding a plot against it.
In this installment Emma is forced to examine facets of spy work that questions whether the moral and ethical lines between personal and professional really lie in parallel. The examination of trust and relationships is prevalent due to her previous assignment but the need for a personal relationship was mundane, I get that this examination of her character but does she really need a man in her life to be fulfilled? The tension builds through out the novel as well as the action, almost like a snowball once things start rolling they don't stop until they culminate.

*Possible Spoiler*
One portion I did not enjoy is Emma's attachment to a certain character, it boarders on obsessive and it felt somewhat forced. I understand that she see's the relationship as the only possible fit to her personality but I'd much rather this character be let go and for her to fill the need for honestly and trust through other characters and relations. She's strong, intelligent, empathic and a damn good spy, why does she need to be "coupled" to be valid?

Could not stop listening

This was a real page turner or whatever you call that for audiobooks. I could not do much else as I sped through all 3 books in the series. I hope there are more to come!

Quick

This book is nothing mind blowing. It’s quick and enjoyable. The main character is likable and smart. Love a smart leading woman.
